A few days ago I made a thread about my PC freezing, 90% of the time when playing LoL.

Over the past few days it has started doing it when just randomly browsing the internet too. It tends to happen 1-2 times a day, some days it won't. Haven't found any specific pattern with the freezing. I blew the dust out of my computer fan so I don't think that is the problem anymore. The only way to get it to do anything is to switch it off and back on at the wall.

I've looked through a lot of things on the internet to try fix this, I've seen a couple people with the same problem but haven't found a solution to it yet. If anyone has any suggestions help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s sorry if this is spammy but I'm out of ideas and don't know what to do, if I can't find a fix soon I might get a technician to take a look

Do you have a graphic card? If yes then remove it and try using the onboard graphics to browse.
If the problem still persists then try using a different Ram strip, if there are 2 sticks on your PC then remove one and try to run it on the other stick.

I know this is a facile question but, have you tried a clean up?

Also, do you have a single, integrated GPU (Intel/AMD) or a specific, separate chip for gaming?

Make sure you're using the latest drivers for you GPU if you aren't already. Try to monitor the temps of the GPU as well.

Try running it from your onbord graphics, the only reason I can workout is either a faulty ram, GPU, a clicking hard disk, or even perhaps a overheating CPU can cause constant stutters and random freezing. Even malware or trojan horses can cause these problems.
